electrical parts for headlights...WHERE TO BUY??

I have a 2001 AE maxima and I have had different kinds of PIAA H4 bulbs in them. I had some plasma gt-x bulbs that burned the connectors up. It is to the point that my left headlight won't work on low beam BUT works on high beam.

Does ANYONE know where I can buy another connector for the headlights?? thanks for your help...

Auto Parts store should have them, its an H4 pigtail, you have to splice them into your original wires.

I wouldn't use electrical tape. When I did my 5.5 hid swap I used heat-shrink butt-splice connectors. They work really well and keep any/all moisture out of the connection.

+1 Don't use electrical tape. I used the quick splices, they work well also.

They aren't quite water tight, but they work in a pinch.
